AIMPROVEMENT IN FIRE-KINDLER CEASESPy Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,676, dated July 2, 1872. i

Specification describin ga new andlmproved Fire-Kindler Gase, invented by DAVID W. THOMPSON, of St. Joseph, in the county of Buchanan and State of Missouri.

My invention consists of a screw-capped can for holding the oil and kindler so that the former is prevented from spilling or wast-e in the'event of the can being accidentally upset, and the latter is kept from rattling or moving about in the can while the can is being handled, at the Sametime the kindler is always saturated and ready for use.

To enable"u others to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe it.

B is a can or case, which may be made of tin or other suitable material, preferably of tubular form, and of the exact length of the kindler which it is to hold. At top I provide this can with a screw7 a, which may be spun struck up, or otherwise suitably formed to receive a removable screw-cap, A, which, when screwed down, lnot Olilg serves to make the can air-tight, but also holds the kindler firmly in place so that it will not move about or rattle in the can, howewer much the latter may be shaken in handling or during transportation.

Among the advantages of the above-described construction of ire-kindler case are,

rst, it being of the ex'act length of kindler and its handle; the two are entirely inclosed within l ready for use when required; fth, the case,

screw-cap, and kindler being independent of one another, the two former need never be in the way of properly introducing the latter into the stove.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and of my invention herein is- The case B provided with a screw-cap, A,

and adapted to be used in connection with the re-lrindler in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

DAVID W. THOMPSON.
